Badangi Reserve

The reserve is home to native bushland, providing a habitat for various flora and fauna. It’s a great spot for nature enthusiasts and bird watchers. There are several walking tracks within the reserve, offering scenic views of the surrounding landscape. These trails are ideal for leisurely walks and connecting with nature.

One of the highlights of Badangi Reserve is its stunning views of Middle Harbour. The vantage points along the trails provide picturesque scenes, especially during sunrise and sunset. The area has historical significance, with some sites within the reserve dating back to the early European settlement in Sydney.

With its natural beauty and harbour views, Badangi Reserve is a favourite spot for photographers looking to capture the scenic landscapes of Sydney. The lighting is not great for bird photography as the canopy of the trees blocks a lot of light, so crank the ISO and give it a go.
